Northern State Teachers College

HEAR YANKTON COLLEGE GLEE CLUB-NEXT TUESDAY
DEPARTMENT OF HYGIENE
GUARDS STUDENTS' HEALTH
SCHOOL NURSE IS BUSY
New Physical Education Building Is
Well Equipped for Corrective
Work
If health is wealth, the students at
the Northern State Teachers College
should be prosperous and happy during
their stay on the campus. The
health of each individual is carefully
guarded by expert physicians and a
trained nurse. The faculty in the Department
of Hygiene and Physical Education
consists of Director for Men,
Telfer Mead and his assistant R. N.
Campbell; Director for Women, Mrs.
Jean Spiers-Helgeson and her assistant
Miss Gladys Taggart. Besides
these are student-assistants in each
section. These people aim to keep the
healthy students in good condition
and to build up the weak ones.
For those students who require special
attention there is the School Physician
for Men, Dr. J. F. Adams;
School Physician for Women, Dr. Paul
V. McCarthy; and a full-time, registered
nurse, Miss Lillian F. Hilt, who
has charge of the infirmary and consultation
and examination rooms.
On the main floor of the new Spafford
Gymnasium, Miss Hilt is in
charge of a three-room suite where
the girls of the school consult with her
and Dr. McCarthy. The examination
room adjoins the auxiliary gymnasium
where corrective exercises, to
remedy faulty posture, feet, weight
and proper exercises for those with
chronic heart conditions, are taught.
To the equipment for the care of the
patients a Zoalite has been recently
purchased for use of both boys and
girls in treating infection, muscle
strain, sprains, etc.
In Lincoln Hall the infirmary is
housed. It is composed of two rooms
and a sun-porch and contains seven
beds. There is also a dispensary in
Lincoln Hall for the convenience of
the dormitory 'girls.
Beginning with the new year, Miss
Hilt has gotten out an interesting
monthly report of the attention she
has given to the girl of the school.
During the two months ending February
29 she was consulted by 197
different patients. Of these she referred
40 to Dr. McCarthy and 13
were sent to the infirmary.
Colds, sort throat and "flu" seem to
have claimed the greatest toll with 69
patients listed. Second on the list is
organic disorders numbering 26;
sprains and bruises (often reecived in
athletic contests) number 25; infection
and boils 18; Pink Eye and other
eye trouble, 17. Miscellaneous items
such as eczema, headache, corns, etc.,
fill out the list.
For the men alone over $50.00
worth of dental work was done at
school rates during these two months
and Dr. Adams attended the remainder
of the cases among the men.
W.S.G.A. MAKE PLANS
Important Changes Suggested For
Constitution; Style Show Is
Under Way
The officers of the W.S.G.A. held a
meeting, Thursday afternoon at five
o'clock in the sunparlor. The time is
drawing near for the election of next
year's officers and with this election
there has arisen a problem which
must be solved. In the past the President
and Vice-President were elected
from Senior College girls only. However,
because of the limited selection
the uncertainty as to the return
of the girls elected, it was thought
wise to extend the eligibility of these
offices to girls in the Sophomore year,
and an amendment to that effect was
suggested. This proposed amendment
to the constitution also suggested that
the offices of Secretary and Treasurer
be open to Senior College students as
well as sixth year girls as has been
the rule in the past. Another meeting
will be held in the near future to consider
this amendment.
The plans for the "Style Show,"
which is sponsored each year by the
W.S.G.A., were also discussed. We
will hear more of this affair later
when the plans are nearer to completion.
LOCAL BOYS WIN
On Monday afternoon of this week,
our men's negative debate team defeated
by a vote of nine to three the
State School of Mines' affirmative
team. Ralph Rice and Otto Gruhn
represented the N.S.T.C. and Russell
Gray and Stanley Brekhus debated
for the Mines. A new form of debate
was used. Twelve members of our
faculty acted as a jury and cast votes
as in court cases.
The debate was characterized by
excellent rebuttal on both sides. Both
teams showed a good insight into the
question.
WOODMAN, SPARE THAT
TREE
During the past several days
some of our best shade trees
have been cut down. Will the
large cottonwood, which has for
many years been the home of
the bulletin board, be , the next
victim ? We sincerely hope that
it will not. And we see no good
reasons for the cutting down of
some of the trees that have been
cut. Let's save the rest of our
trees.

Famous Group Will Appear In Auditorium,
Next Week
On Tuesday, March 27, the Yankton

evening concert in the College auditorium.
The club is made up of eighteen
college men with an advanced
student of piano who does the accompanying.
The program will be featured by
Alice Pihl Hohf, soprano soloist, who
is a graduate of Oberlin Conservatory
of music and a private pupil of Oscar
Savenge• and Herbert Witherspoon
and a teacher for many years in the
Yankton College Conservatory of
Music.
This Glee Club was the only Glee
Club in the West to enjoy the privilege
of singing at the National Council
of Congregational Churches held at
Omaha, Nebraska, the latter part of
May last year. Prominent men from
all parts of the United States were in
attendance at this convention. Many
of them said that they had heard no
better singing by glee clubs of such
institutions as Yale, Harvard, or
Princeton, than that rendered by the
men representing Yankton College.
Dr. G. W. Nash, President of Yankton
College, was formerly president
of N.S.T.C. He speaks very highly
this year of the Glee Club's work.
Students and faculty will be admitted
on their activity tickets. The admission
for the general public will be
fifty cents.
NEW SWIMMING POOL OPENED
Is Up-To-Date in All Respects As to
Health and Equipment
The handsome, new swiming pool
has been completed and is now in use.
It is modern and up-to-date in every
respect. The pool itself is 60 feet in
length and 25 feet in width. The
depth varies from 3 feet 6 inches at
one end to 8 feet 6 inches at the other.
A good substantial spring board is
provided which will stand plenty of
good healthy springs. The water is
kept pure and clean by a water chlorinater.
The pool was opened to students
last week. Only those who have taken
health examinations and have a doctor's
certificate are allowed to go in.
A regular schedule has been made out
for the use of the pool by the different
groups of students. Classes in swimming
are offered for both men and
women. In addition to the regular
class periods a certain amount of time
is allowed each week for recreational
swimming.
This is a fine opportunity to learn
the art of swimming and to enjoy a
very popular sport and students
should lose no time in taking advantage
of it.
MRS. HELGESON LEAVES
Mrs. G. P. Helgeson left, last Wednesday,
for Owatonna, Minnesota to

leaders will be in attendance. On
Thursday morning, Mrs. Helgeson
presided at an educational session,
composed of leaders from Minnesota,
North Dakota, and South Dakota.

brought up: "How to Make a Survey
of Your Community and Evaluate
Your Work for 1928"; "How to Inspire
a Desire to be a Girl Scout Leader";
"Ways of Creating in Your Community
a Desire to Pay National
Quota."
Mrs. Helgeson will be joined by her
husband at Owatonna. They will spend
a few days in Minneapolis before returning
to Aberdeen.
FACULTY WIVES MEET
Mrs. Henry Onsgard, assisted by
Mrs. T. A. Harmon, entertained the
Faculty Wives Club at her home,
Monday, March 12. After a short
business meeting /Mrs. W. W. Garvin
gave an exceedingly interesting talk
on Alaska, the subject for the day's
study. This year the club is studying
"Our American Neighbors" and Mr3.
Garvin's information was first howl
as she made an extensive trip through
Alaska two years ago. At the close
of the program, the hostess served a
buffet lunch with Mesdames Seymour
and Harmon pouring tea at a table
elaborately decorated in honor of St.
Patrick.
Yankton Glee Club
PASQUEMATERIAL COMPLETED BY APRIL 1
ONLY ONE SECTION REMAINS
Business Manager Nears Goal; Board is Working on the
Pasque Petals, the Final Section
The Pasque will be complete, as far
as the Pasque Board is concerned, by
April 1. That is the date that has been
set for all material to be in the hands
of the publishers.
All the material, except the "Pasque
Petals" and Advertising sections, is
in the hands of the publisher now. The
introductory, Faculty, Classes, and
Campus Sections, supervised by Kath-leen
Brady, were completed first. This
was closely followed by Organizations,
edited by Myrtle Orton. The Athle-tics
sections, in charge of Daisy Eis-ent•
ager and Oren Felton, were next
completed. The Activities, directed by
Estella Kundert, were finished some-time
ago. A special section of Gypsy
Day History, compiled by Oren Fel-ton,
in keeping with the theme of this
year's annual, comes next. The Pop-ularity
Section, bigger and better than
ever, has just been completed by Miss
Rose Lambert.
The year's Calendar, arranged by
Irma Johnson, will remain open as
long as possible, but it can be completed
at any time. Only a small part
of the Art work remains, which Helen
Davies will finish soon. Paul Liefeld,
the Business Manager, is working industriously
to get as much advertising
as possible by April 1. Roger Frohn,
humor editor, has found all the old
jokes necessary, and is composing
many new ones for the occasion. All
members of the Board are directing
their energies toward making the
Pasque Petals, edited by Harriet Seymour,
the best ever.
A tentative date for Pasque Day,
May 16, has been set, allowing the
publishers six weeks after the last
material reaches them. However, if
the annual is received before that
date, it will be distributed at once. If
you have not reserved your copy, you
have ten more days in which to do so.
You may deposit one dollar in the
Publicity Office, thus assuring for
yourself a copy of the "Bigger and
Better" 1929 Pasque. There will be
little chance of getting one when they
are distributed if you do not order one
now.

GUARDS STUDENTS' HEALTH
SCHOOL NURSE IS BUSY
New Physical Education Building Is
Well Equipped for Corrective
Work
If health is wealth, the students at
the Northern State Teachers College
should be prosperous and happy during
their stay on the campus. The
health of each individual is carefully
guarded by expert physicians and a
trained nurse. The faculty in the Department
of Hygiene and Physical Education
consists of Director for Men,
Telfer Mead and his assistant R. N.
Campbell; Director for Women, Mrs.
Jean Spiers-Helgeson and her assistant
Miss Gladys Taggart. Besides
these are student-assistants in each
section. These people aim to keep the
healthy students in good condition
and to build up the weak ones.
For those students who require special
attention there is the School Physician
for Men, Dr. J. F. Adams;
School Physician for Women, Dr. Paul
V. McCarthy; and a full-time, registered
nurse, Miss Lillian F. Hilt, who
has charge of the infirmary and consultation
and examination rooms.
On the main floor of the new Spafford
Gymnasium, Miss Hilt is in
charge of a three-room suite where
the girls of the school consult with her
and Dr. McCarthy. The examination
room adjoins the auxiliary gymnasium
where corrective exercises, to
remedy faulty posture, feet, weight

chronic heart conditions, are taught.
To the equipment for the care of the

In Lincoln Hall the infirmary is
housed. It is composed of two rooms
and a sun-porch and contains seven
beds. There is also a dispensary in
Lincoln Hall for the convenience of
the dormitory 'girls.
Beginning with the new year, Miss
Hilt has gotten out an interesting
monthly report of the attention she
has given to the girl of the school.
During the two months ending February
29 she was consulted by 197
different patients. Of these she referred
40 to Dr. McCarthy and 13
were sent to the infirmary.
Colds, sort throat and "flu" seem to
have claimed the greatest toll with 69
patients listed. Second on the list is
organic disorders numbering 26;
sprains and bruises (often reecived in
athletic contests) number 25; infection
and boils 18; Pink Eye and other
eye trouble, 17. Miscellaneous items
such as eczema, headache, corns, etc.,
fill out the list.
For the men alone over $50.00
worth of dental work was done at
school rates during these two months
and Dr. Adams attended the remainder
of the cases among the men.
W.S.G.A. MAKE PLANS
Important Changes Suggested For
Constitution; Style Show Is
Under Way
The officers of the W.S.G.A. held a
meeting, Thursday afternoon at five
o'clock in the sunparlor. The time is
drawing near for the election of next
year's officers and with this election
there has arisen a problem which
must be solved. In the past the President
and Vice-President were elected
from Senior College girls only. However,
because of the limited selection
the uncertainty as to the return

and an amendment to that effect was
suggested. This proposed amendment
to the constitution also suggested that
the offices of Secretary and Treasurer
be open to Senior College students as
well as sixth year girls as has been
the rule in the past. Another meeting
will be held in the near future to consider
this amendment.
The plans for the "Style Show,"
which is sponsored each year by the
W.S.G.A., were also discussed. We
will hear more of this affair later
when the plans are nearer to completion.
LOCAL BOYS WIN
On Monday afternoon of this week,
our men's negative debate team defeated
by a vote of nine to three the
State School of Mines' affirmative
team. Ralph Rice and Otto Gruhn
represented the N.S.T.C. and Russell
Gray and Stanley Brekhus debated
for the Mines. A new form of debate
was used. Twelve members of our
faculty acted as a jury and cast votes
as in court cases.
The debate was characterized by
excellent rebuttal on both sides. Both
teams showed a good insight into the
question.
WOODMAN, SPARE THAT

During the past several days
some of our best shade trees
have been cut down. Will the
large cottonwood, which has for
many years been the home of
the bulletin board, be , the next

it will not. And we see no good
reasons for the cutting down of
some of the trees that have been

YANKTON GLEE CLUB HERE
Famous Group Will Appear In Auditorium,
Next Week
On Tuesday, March 27, the Yankton
College Men's Glee Club will give an
evening concert in the College auditorium.
The club is made up of eighteen
college men with an advanced
student of piano who does the accompanying.
The program will be featured by
Alice Pihl Hohf, soprano soloist, who
is a graduate of Oberlin Conservatory
of music and a private pupil of Oscar
Savenge• and Herbert Witherspoon
and a teacher for many years in the
Yankton College Conservatory of
Music.
This Glee Club was the only Glee
Club in the West to enjoy the privilege
of singing at the National Council
of Congregational Churches held at
Omaha, Nebraska, the latter part of
May last year. Prominent men from
all parts of the United States were in
attendance at this convention. Many
of them said that they had heard no
better singing by glee clubs of such
institutions as Yale, Harvard, or
Princeton, than that rendered by the
men representing Yankton College.
Dr. G. W. Nash, President of Yankton
College, was formerly president
of N.S.T.C. He speaks very highly
this year of the Glee Club's work.
Students and faculty will be admitted
on their activity tickets. The admission
for the general public will be
fifty cents.
NEW SWIMMING POOL OPENED
Is Up-To-Date in All Respects As to
Health and Equipment
The handsome, new swiming pool
has been completed and is now in use.
It is modern and up-to-date in every
respect. The pool itself is 60 feet in
length and 25 feet in width. The
depth varies from 3 feet 6 inches at
one end to 8 feet 6 inches at the other.
A good substantial spring board is
provided which will stand plenty of
good healthy springs. The water is
kept pure and clean by a water chlorinater.
The pool was opened to students
last week. Only those who have taken
health examinations and have a doctor's
certificate are allowed to go in.
A regular schedule has been made out
for the use of the pool by the different
groups of students. Classes in swimming
are offered for both men and
women. In addition to the regular
class periods a certain amount of time
is allowed each week for recreational
swimming.
This is a fine opportunity to learn
the art of swimming and to enjoy a
very popular sport and students
should lose no time in taking advantage
of it.

Patrick.
Yankton Glee Club
PASQUEMATERIAL COMPLETED BY APRIL 1
ONLY ONE SECTION REMAINS
Business Manager Nears Goal; Board is Working on the
Pasque Petals, the Final Section
The Pasque will be complete, as far
as the Pasque Board is concerned, by
April 1. That is the date that has been
set for all material to be in the hands
of the publishers.
All the material, except the "Pasque
Petals" and Advertising sections, is
in the hands of the publisher now. The
introductory, Faculty, Classes, and
Campus Sections, supervised by Kath-leen
Brady, were completed first. This
was closely followed by Organizations,
edited by Myrtle Orton. The Athle-tics
sections, in charge of Daisy Eis-ent•
ager and Oren Felton, were next
completed. The Activities, directed by
Estella Kundert, were finished some-time
ago. A special section of Gypsy
Day History, compiled by Oren Fel-ton,
in keeping with the theme of this
year's annual, comes next. The Pop-ularity
Section, bigger and better than
ever, has just been completed by Miss
Rose Lambert.
The year's Calendar, arranged by
Irma Johnson, will remain open as
long as possible, but it can be completed
at any time. Only a small part
of the Art work remains, which Helen
Davies will finish soon. Paul Liefeld,
the Business Manager, is working industriously
to get as much advertising
as possible by April 1. Roger Frohn,
humor editor, has found all the old
jokes necessary, and is composing
many new ones for the occasion. All
members of the Board are directing
their energies toward making the
Pasque Petals, edited by Harriet Seymour,
the best ever.
A tentative date for Pasque Day,
May 16, has been set, allowing the
publishers six weeks after the last
material reaches them. However, if
the annual is received before that
date, it will be distributed at once. If
you have not reserved your copy, you
have ten more days in which to do so.
You may deposit one dollar in the
Publicity Office, thus assuring for
yourself a copy of the "Bigger and
Better" 1929 Pasque. There will be
little chance of getting one when they
are distributed if you do not order one
now.
